Get started with the Power BI mobile app on iOS devices
The Microsoft Power BI for iOS app on the iPhone and iPad delivers the mobile BI experience for Power BI, Power BI Report Server, and Reporting Services. View and interact with your company dashboards on premises and in the cloud from anywhere, with live, touch-enabled mobile access. Explore the data in dashboards, and share with your colleagues in email or text messages. And keep up to date with your most timely data on your Apple Watch.
You create Power BI reports in Power BI Desktop, and publish them:
- Publish them to the Power BI service, and create dashboards.
- Publish them on premises to Power BI Report Server.
Then in the Power BI mobile app for iOS, you interact with your dashboards and reports, whether on premises or in the cloud.

Enterprise support for the Power BI mobile apps
Organizations can use Microsoft Intune to manage devices and applications, including the Power BI mobile apps for Android and iOS.
Microsoft Intune lets organizations control items like requiring an access pin, controlling how data is handled by the application, and even encrypting application data when the app isn't in use.
Note
If you use the Power BI mobile app on your iOS device and your organization has configured Microsoft Intune MAM, then background data refresh is turned off. The next time you enter the app, Power BI refreshes the data from the Power BI service on the web.
